I was trying to get it to lay perfectly flat but wasn't able to.

It had some kind of weird stretchy batting-I'm used to hi loft poly but I was afraid to use anything else-I figured there was a good reason for that particular batting.

I think with two people trying to make it come together it got kind of misshapen and too stretched.

Is it the stretchy fabric or did I do it wrong?

Seems like if nothing was stretched or it was all quilting fabric and cotton it would have lain flat. It was flannel on both sides.

First I would praise the quilt then I would explain the problem of leaving the batting on the outside and offer to help her correct the problem.

I would tell her that I thought it over and know what is wrong and can fix it for you. Considering she has
been sick, it might just be that she is on meds that cause her to lose her train of thought. I know, I have
been there.

You are a dear to help her out with this. Just assure her that it has happened to all quilters & sometimes we just need some one else for an input. So glad to hear it all worked out.

I'm so glad you fixed it for her. Is it tied yet? If not, how about an old fashioned quilting bee. Just you and she could get it tied and have a good time doing it. I'll bet she would enjoy the company and help.

But maybe she was secretly hoping I would rescue her

She is having a COPD attack

I'll try and call her
My Mom also has COPD...the lack of oxygen really messes with her brain. You need to assist. Toverly is right...it will be totally useless and all that hard work will be for nothing.

I'd help her out, especially since she asked.
